On Thursday evening the team took the rare step of releasing a statement to respond to reports, including from Ken Rosenthal of MLB Network and FOXSports.com, that the sides were in agreement on a four-year, $52 million contract, pending a physical. Rosenthal later reported that Garza had indeed undergone his physical.

The last 24 hours saw the passing of 2 icons -- Earl Weaver and Stan "the Man" Musial.
I had a chance to meet these guys and get their autographs. Both were true gentlemen.
Rest in Peace, gentlemen. Condolences to families and friends.
